TeKavin Russell

TeKavin Russell, Graphics/Photo Editor

The Senior icon-legend, TeKavin Russell is a Graphics/Photo Editor for the Blueprint, and this being his last year at DGS he has promised to make his impact in the little time he has left.

The most important thing that people like about TeKavin Russell is that he is unapologetically himself. He lives by the attitude of not caring about what anybody have to say and is going to “do him” regardless.

Russell is involved with sports such as cross country and track & field. His passion is music, rather, performing or creating it. Providing him with the desire to go to New York after high school for acting and musical theater.

One thing Russell enjoys doing is writing whether it’s a story, song, or poetry. Russell believes that having the opportunity to create your thoughts and bring them to life is the best power in writing. Supporting his dreams of being an entertainer, Russell never fails to excite the crowd around him.
